John,

I don't see much value in documenting buggy behavior of early JDK7 in JDK8 code. So, I would remove it.

Regarding the test:
  31  * @run main/othervm/timeout=3600
  - why do you have timeout set to 1h?

I like the idea how you count events.

As a suggestion for enhancement - maybe it's more reliable to check the "type" of event as well? To ensure that particular class was initialized.

Best regards,
Vladimir Ivanov

Please review this change for a change to the JSR 292 implementation:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jrose/8024599/webrev.00/

Summary: Align MH semantic with bytecode behavior of constructor and
static member accesses, regarding <clinit> invocation.

The change is to javadoc and unit tests, documenting and testing some
corner cases of JSR 292 APIs.

I have a reviewer (Alex Buckley) for the documentation changes, but I
would also like a quick code review for the unit test.

Also, there is a code insertion (predicated on a "false" symbolic
constant) which serves to document the buggy JDK 7 behavior.  I'm not
particularly attached to it, so I'm open to either a yea or nay on
keeping it.  Leaning nay at the moment.
